Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Dear Hannelore, the thread spinning of the goddess of time Drefangua seems to have been done very smoothly. This afternoon we will be travelling to Arlensbach and returning straight to Dunkelferger. Rest in your room until your departure time."

"... I think you were invited today to order hair decorations?

Hannelore turned to me and looked strange. I laugh and shake my neck beside Nicole. It seems Hannelore was a little calmed by praying with him and mourning and mourning the dead. I'm losing strength from my body, and I look a little sleepy.

"You can always take an order for hair decorations. Hannelore's health is more important, so give priority to those who can rest slowly."

"I'm very happy to take care of you, so now I'm going down to your room like Rosemaine said, but I'm very excited to be able to order your hair decorations exclusively from Rosemaine."

Hannelore laughs prankily, saying, "Three bells will have dreffangua threads crossed," and drops back to the main building's guest room.

Dropping off Hannelore and his neighbors, I also went back to my room, where Darmuel accidentally stepped out and took a vigilant stance. Eudit set up a stamp in the same way. I will also try to strengthen my vision. I saw the horseman approaching. Some horsemen come after me from behind. Horsebeasts like white lions approaching at high speeds must be Ferdinand.

"Oh, Master Ferdinand. Good morning. That's a lot faster."

When I waved and spoke, I stood down on the balcony and looked around at me and my neighbors with a face like Ferdinand on the horseman chewed up the bitter worm.

"I thought it was also a raid aimed at the dawn when fatigue comes out to those on the night shift, and it was you who unleashed a foolish amount of magic at a time like this?

"I was mourning the dead with Master Hannelore. Because Ilkner and Gerlach, and then those who are no longer this Aerenfest, will go with this dawn to the Supreme God and much higher heights.... Well, I didn't mean to wake up where Master Ferdinand was resting. I'm sorry."

Even though Ferdinand must be the one who needs rest most, he popped up wary that it might be a raid on our prayers. Even if the Knights have been contacted by the escort knights, they haven't even contacted Ferdinand, who is just in the library outside the castle, to say "I'm going to pray for your condolences".

"No, I just ran out of drugs, so I don't have any particular problems.... Need you too? One bell can sleep like a dead man without dreaming. Treasure when you don't have time."

"I'm a little tempted not to dream, but I'm hesitant to think about it if I can't wake up for another two days or so."

I have to get fit in a short time, as do I. I want to see what's going on in the temple and in the lower town. But now that I have a clear memory of being left behind in Arlensbach, Ferdinand's medication makes me a little wary.

"I don't like it, but it's something I can wake up in a short time.... the three bells should be face-to-face with the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce people in the library, but are you going to meet the needles with those sleepless faces?

Speaking of sleepless faces, I held my own. There was a fight at Aerenfest, too, and I hear my father was unscrupulous at the West Gate. Touri, who heard the story, will be worried, and he cannot worry about Touri or his family until about me.

Although I'm a little unwilling to do the same thing as Ferdinand, who is drugged, I decided to get some sleeping pills that Ferdinand seems to treasure and sleep.

"Rosemaine, is there anything wrong with your health?... Oh, wasn't that the question I should have asked"

"Dear Ferdinand, I was going to talk to you later, but Master Rosemayne seems to associate the state of the battle from the Demon Stone and is also having difficulty getting the horseman out"

When Darmuel answered on my behalf, who could not think of a word to talk to and caged for a moment, Ferdinand turned out to be "worse than expected".

"If you're afraid of demon stones, you don't know how much of an obstacle there is to everyday life.... Now the temple is not a very good environment as the magic equipment trap set by Merhior's proximity has not yet been removed. If you really want to get inside the temple, it looks better this afternoon when the temple is cleansed."

I tilted my neck, looking up at Ferdinand grunting as to whether I could handle it if I delayed the journey a little.

"... Has Master Ferdinand seen the temple yet?

"No. I just got a report"

It seems that Justkus watched as Filine and Haltmut were listening from Merhior and his neighbors. It seems to be Justkus that I wasn't listening, I was watching.

"It doesn't matter after the trap is withdrawn or cleaned. I want to see how the temple looks with my own eyes."

"Tell the Melchior flanks to retract the trap, Darmuel"

"Ha!"

I talked to Ferdinand and took a few pills to bed in a slightly hospitable mood. It was really one minute of bells to sleep without dreaming, and then the nightmare came and it was a pill that had to jump up. I knew through myself the meaning of the word that I could wake up in a short time, even if I did not like it. Even one minute of bell made me sleep better, but I feel worse when I wake up.

"Dear Rosemaine, what is it?

He took turns with the sleepless Greater, and came into the tent when Otilier noticed me jumping up, apparently tidying up the room.

"It's a terrible wake...... Ferdinand said he would treasure it when he didn't have time, but I can't believe he would treasure this kind of medicine..."

Ferdinand may need attention once. Immediately after I thought so, I remember everyone telling me not to get too close because the outside is not good.

... Oh, nobility is a pain in the ass.

I asked Otilier, who said I should have slept a little more... to start preparing breakfast and help me get dressed while listening to how Bertilde spent the whole fight. He was about Charlotte and Brunhilde, who were thoroughly backup, and the hardest part was preparing rooms for the feast and Dunkelferger.

... During the Knights' expedition under Aub's orders, I never knew they were sending meals from the castle in a transfer.

While I had breakfast, I received a report from Otilier about the movements of my current neighbors.

"It's an order that Haltmoot brought back after the feast, but Master Ferdinand has ordered me to be ready enough to spend a few days in Arlensbach without any problems. Lady Rosemayne must go to Arlensbach once."

O'Tillier smiled caring that he was finally back but could not believe he was headed to a dangerous place again... Apparently, in addition to those who accompanied him to Arlensbach together, a side service reseller and a Greater Tier have been nominated.

"No one or he seems to be busy in the morning, as the sidekicks seem to be ready to take turns as well. I'll be ready for Rosemayne's departure by this afternoon with Bertilde."

"Please read this book until you are ready for your carriage to the library. Leezerator and Greater had prepared a book that Master Rosemaine had yet to see through. Elvira said she would make as many books as possible before Rosemayne was married."

That's what Bertilde said and brought me is a new one from Aerenfest that was too busy preparing for battle to read. There are two books printed during the winter when I was absent. I thanked Bertilde and immediately began to read. The best way to forget the unpleasant and the scary is to read a book.

"Oh, are you here? The Gilberta Chamber of Commerce has already arrived."

Three bells rang, and I took a carriage with Hannelore and Heishitze to the library. Unless you are so unwilling to be known of your visit, or so comfortable and friendly, use a carriage when visiting a nobleman's hall. The Dunkelferger people are with us this time, so we don't use horsebacks.

"Heishitze, let's go"

"Ha! So, Master Hannelore. Enjoy your shopping."

Heishitze is supposed to escort us to the library before going to the training ground for Ferdinand and the knights. Heishitze and Ferdinand aren't the only ones. My escort knights also forbid men from entering the library. Apparently it's not a good outside sound to be inside the same hall when an unmarried woman does temporary sewing.

Ferdinand and his neighbors, the men of Dunkelferger, beginning with Heishitze, enter the carriage we came in and return to the castle.

"Razapham was with us, but do you train knights?

"I think we're just going to prepare tea for our guests, etc. You won't be training for combat."

Leonore laughed softly and replied so, urging him to enter the library.

"Dear Rosemaine, Dear Hannelore. I've been waiting for you."

Looks like Rezelator and Greater were moving one foot ahead and ready for temporary sewing with the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce needles. The reception room in the hall is full of cloth. There were many needles lined up in the room kneeling. Some of them look like Touri. I had heard about the evacuation to the library, but I was still very relieved to be able to make sure he was safe this way.

"Here you are, Dear Hannelore, Lord Candidate of Dunkelferger, my dear friend. Without the help of Dunkelferger in this fight, Aerenfest would not have been surprised if it had been defeated. I wanted to at least give you the best hair decorations and invited you to this occasion. Touri, please decorate the hair of Master Hannelore."

"Yes, Master Rosemaine."

I introduce him who wears a blue cape to be a nobleman of Dunkelferger, and ask Thuri to make Hannelore hair ornaments. Touri, who exchanged his gaze, also broke his expression as if he was relieved to see me.

"Touri would have taken an order for hair decorations from Dunkelferger before, wouldn't he? It was her brother's request."

"I remember that request very well. It was a great design."

It also seemed to remain vividly in Touri's memory, as he received his order along with a rare sketch of flowers. Touri begins asking Hannelore what kind of hair decoration she prefers.

"Is it still a good hair decoration using the precious colors of winter so that it can be worn in the House of Lords? The hair decorations your brother gave your fiancée were lovely, and the decorations Rosemaine usually wears are beautiful, so I worry about you."

"If Lady Rosemaine and Lady Hannelore are your friends, you can also arrange your two hair decorations in a similar atmosphere. I use yarns of color that suit each one, so it won't be exactly the same..."

"Well, that's nice! That's what I admired."

After Hannelore shined her red eyes and struck her hand, she looked at me with a low voice and fear.

"Um, doesn't Master Rosemayne hate being with me?

"I'm glad. Touri knows best the decorations that suit me. Dear Hannelore, consult with Touri to decide."

Leaving my hair decoration order to Thuri, I confronted the needles in the mood. The costume is taken off by the Greater Tier and the Rezelator and put on the skin.

"We must have everything finished before the Lords' Conference, but Master Rosemayne is not tired yet."

"I understand. Let's get this over with."

Starting with Corinna, the needles put on the costumes they were about to make, adjust them, let them take them off, and put on the next one.

"Today, the exclusive needles of the Lords' clan, who were unable to come, have also asked for temporary sewing of the costume."

It seemed impossible to schedule a tentative stitch the night before, and although all the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce people are here, some of the costumes being brought in are made in other workshops.

"From this costume, they make other costumes,"

I had to rush to make costumes so far because of the sudden growth, but I would have been able to take it slower if I hadn't planned to head to Arlensbach. I'm sorry about the needles being rushed, but I really need you to do your best for not having a costume.

"... you're bothering everyone with the shorter time you can be in Aerenfest"

"I'll charge you for the express, don't worry about this one"

Corinna peeks into the face of a merchant slightly resembling Benno. In a nostalgic atmosphere I unwittingly loosened my mouth.

"Please take care of the luxury and character of your costume when you meet with the royal family"

"Yes, I did. I'm going to make the best of it."

Corinna's eyes, usually with a relaxed and soft atmosphere, reinforced the light with a view to her goal. Although the colors are different with gray eyes close to reddish brown and silver, with these challenging expressions, Corinna knows very well that she is Benno's sister.

Hannelore noticed me looking at this one as I was doing a temporary stitch thinking I wanted to meet Benno and Lutz and the others as well. Touri is looking for the most suitable color, comparing the yarn sample he was bringing with him to Hannelore.

"Dear Hannelore, have you finished ordering your hair decorations?

"Yes.... you can wear a lot of costumes at once. Plus, it's a costume with an atmosphere you don't see too much."

"I layered the new dyed cloth that I started making at Aerenfest with the thin cloth from Aerensbach that Master Ferdinand gave me. Because there's not much culture in Aerenfest that uses vale."

I lift up the thin cloth on the skirt and show it. Hannelore put her hand on her cheek and looked at me wonderfully.

"Um, Master Rosemaine. Me, I want to ask you a question because I'm very concerned about something, okay? If you think it's impolite and rude, you don't have to answer..."

"What is it?

"Lady Rosemayne is Aerenfest's Lordship Candidate, Aub Aerensbach, the next Zent Candidate...... I think you can choose any position, but which one will you choose?

I blinked at the words of Hannelore. It was a question I didn't even think about, so I don't get an answer right away.

"... Dear Hannelore, I'm not in a position to choose, am I?

I cannot say I am Aub, a minor who is dyeing the foundations but has not been approved by Zent. Even if I have the book of Mestionora, there are too few parts I can actually use to name my next Zent. Considered by the erasure method, I am now only the Lord's Candidate of Aerenfest.

"I, Lady Rosemaine, admired it. I retreated from the demands of my brother, a first-year student with a younger appearance than anyone else in the House of Lords, but a Dunkelferger lord candidate, and I was very dazzled to see Prince Anastasius express his opinions firmly and pierce your wishes."

From Hannelore, who was about to stand around looking at the complexions around him and not being scolded at all, it seemed that I in the House of Lords reflected that way.

Touri's hand stopped at Hannelore's words. Hannelore is a biological lord candidate, so the needles, who are civilians, are probably not among those who care. As far as I'm concerned, the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce has an inner frame, so I can't help but worry about Tulli and Corinna's reaction.

... Dear Hannelore, it's a little bad between now and then.

Such a voice of my heart does not seem to make sense, and Hannelore goes on and on.

"The Rosemaine who invited Dunkelferger to a real ditter and showed up at the border gate was just filled with the glow of the next Zent. After dyeing the foundations, Master Rosemayne, who fights Lanzenave to save the Arlensbach nobility, which can also be discarded, looked Aub. Even though Master Rosemayne, who accepts Aub's ordained unwillful marriage and separation from Master Ferdinand at the feast of celebration, is a Lord's Candidate at Aerenfest, it seemed like the least Rosemayne I've ever seen. That's strange."

Hannelore approaches me quietly looking at me. I saw Touri in a mood of sloppiness and cold sweat. You look worried and you say, "What do you mean? It feels like a mixed look."

"Dear Rosemaine, now we can make it"

"Hey, what's up?

"The Lords' Conference, where the official announcement will take place, is yet to take place. I will do everything in my power to help. Let's go for Aub or Zent"

I don't understand Hannelore's words. What does it mean to be in time? I don't think Hannelore knows my library city plan.

My proximity does not stop Hannelore, but rather seems to await what answer I will give. Everyone is watching my reaction.

"Dear Hannelore, if I were to be Aub or Zent, what would I be in time for?

Dunkelferger's cooperation is very powerful and scary. I already know that it is not easy to ride. What is Hannelore trying to think and make me Aub or Zent? That's more important than anything else.

"Aren't you determined to accomplish your love with Master Ferdinand, a thinker from an early age!

The moment Ferdinand's name came out, Tulli's eyes turned round. "You liked the Chief Cleric!?" in a surprised face. I haven't stopped my tentative sewing hands, but Corinna's eyes turned raw and warm "well, that's how old you are". I can't stay. It's nothing like being mistaken for the less familiar nobles.

... Hey, wait a minute. Because here, in fact, it's just inside me!

"Dear Hannelore, stay, wait. Take a deep breath and calm down... I, Lord Ferdinand..."

"Master Rosemaine, you don't have to hide it from me. Didn't you tell me you had someone else to think of besides your fiancé? From an early age before the christening ceremony, Master Rosemayne has always leaned in, walked, and supported..."

... Speaking of which, you've made that up before. I remember, yeah. But, Master Hannelore, seriously, it's a bad time!

"Master Wilfried said that only Master Ferdinand applies to that condition. Could there be anyone else out there?

...... oh my god! I should have thought of Fran and Lutz, but only Master Ferdinand would have applied if I had thought about it by noble standards! You must be mistaken! Ooh!

Hannelore wields a hot valve while holding her head and also thinking about how to correct it.

"Me, sadness doesn't like stories. The stories I read this morning were too uncut, sad, hard... I can't bear to agree to an unwillful marriage to bring gluthrithheit to the present royal family and just imagine that Master Rosemayne would feel that sad by marrying an unmatched royal family of magic. The official announcement has not yet been made. Win your own marriage so you don't let your parents and brothers complain. If we are to achieve Lord Rosemaine's love, I will do everything in my power to help. Right?"

... right? That's a cute way to say it, but Dear Hannelore, seriously, Dunkelferger!
